Such removal would no longer be enforceable since it is explicitly addressed by 13. This is another RARE case where the normal process (ie follow the cut-sheet requirements via the listing) is exempted by the technical committee. Another example is the listed sprinklers required by 8.15.1.6 for concealed combustible spaces with a depth less than 36 in. The listing applies only to solid wood joist but 8.15.1.7 allows that sprinkler to be used with composite wood joists.

You will need to check the UL listing of the pipe and the pipe manufacturer's tech data regarding the loading the pipe can take from building foundations and other loads such as traffic, truck wheel loads on flexible pavement(asphalt), most of the underground plastic pipe is not listed for use above ground, and you are required to use a DI transition piece. I have seen AHJ require the removal of the plastic pipe and replacement with DI transition piece, very expensive after floor is poured and walls are up.
